Wanting someone to die seems a tad excessive. I wouldn't be sad if she stopped calling though.

Also that Fez Silence of the Lambs video is like watching child porn where the child is 50.

Thats exactly it. I feel really unsettled after watching that. I feel like taking a shot

Shelby's hilarious and I'm sure he's not seriously in danger of losing his job. Though I think I want Fez back purely for the fact that Shelby seems a lot funnier when he's not stuck as Ron's whipping boy.

R&F is a complete work and I have no idea why people keep falling for this poo poo. Give it next week and Fez will be back with 3 new stents or something, whether real or fake (fake), to explain and they're good another 2 years.

Anyone seriously thinking anything Ron says on the air is real is loving crazy. He could say the moon crashed into earth and you should check to make sure in case he's lying. (Spoilers he'd be lying cause you'd be dead).

It seems like a worked shoot most of the time.

quote:

A worked shoot plays off of a wrestler's real life, and it breaks many pro wrestling conventions, in an attempt to convince the viewer it's totally different from anything else that's going on, that it's totally real. Since a worked shoot so often borrows from real life elements, it can be difficult to tell where the shoot ends and the work begins.

They definitely come up with funny ideas regarding Fez (the new apartment falling apart, the smoke alarm, getting trapped on a dresser trying to fix the smoke alarm, Ron stealing Fez's wallet at a screening, Fez not watching movies/TV - listening to music, etc) but there's no way the anxiety and silence is a bit.

I just hate seeing anything go to waste.
The other SiriusXM channel I listen to, SiriusXMU, has been showing O&A interviews on their youtube channel lately. Of course, being a music channel, these videos have like no views so if anyone's checked the numbers they shouldn't be expecting any envelopes anytime soon.

Yeah these videos are cool, but I think Sirius just gets the 'web team' to come in to film a celeb once every 8 months, and then gives the videos no publicity. Hope you like your visual element :pwn:

Scott Shannon plugging Jimmy for a minute solid on his FM show was weird today, as was Jimmy saying he's going to be on Scotts show tomorrow.

He also talked up the 20 years of O&A.

He seems like a genuinely nice guy who took his ribbing properly unlike Todd who just ignores their existence completely even when they are ruining his shows Facebook and Twitter for days at a time.

Oh...six month extension.

Also, the money spent to keep that drain on society alive...some people aren't meant to live.

Its just a six month extension, in which the process will rinse and repeat, down to the number of stents.

Well it started late due to all the commercials, but even now it's over 1 hour easily. I hope they do go for 2 hours because this Unmasked has been great and it's dumb they aren't allowed to go as long as they want.

It's actually pretty inspired. There is no other radio show (and rare media elsewhere) about experiencing and participating in the slow, agonizing mental and physical decline of a selfish, violent, and manipulative person who plans life as a victim while avoiding and refusing all help. And then sometimes there are jokes and/or interviews with cool people. I listen to every minute of every show.
